Hanover Beach readies EcoFest, parade and street fair as part of 12 Days of Earth Day
Summary
Committee members finalized logistics for EcoFest, a parade and a street fair during the city's 12 Days of Earth Day program, confirming setup times, volunteer needs and donations including free compost from Recology and $600 for pollinator plants from a local florist.
Staff member (S3) told the committee that the EcoFest weekend was a success and is part of a larger 12 Days of Earth Day program. "The EcoFest was the 1st time we've done that," S3 said, describing hands-on activities for children such as seed balls, nature crowns and worm-composting demonstrations.
Committee members coordinated parade and street-fair logistics: setup at 9:30 a.m., a parade start just before 11 a.m., six tables and four chairs for the staff booth, and teardown by about 1:30 p.m. S2 asked whether a police officer should be present at the parade start; members agreed 10:58–11:00 a.m. would be appropriate for law-enforcement presence.
S3 said the event will include a shredding station, free compost distribution provided by Recology, and a local flower company contribution of $600 to buy pollinator plants for school and park plantings. The committee discussed signage distribution channels (post office, bus stops, chamber mail blasts) to boost turnout. Members also noted the flower company will supply tree-certificates at the street fair and that Recology will handle compost and recycling pickups during the event.
Volunteers will staff booths and hands-on activities; staff asked for help with setup and outreach. The committee encouraged members to spread the word through local channels and the chamber's mail list.
